Can anyone explain that Y-cable that comes with the MixPre-6? Is that only useful when powering from a computer? I assume one USB-A connector supplies power and the other allows data transfer? All that can't be done with one USB-A to USB-C cable?

It’s only useful for those lacking usb-c with proper PD. The Y-cable uses power and data from one USB A connector and power only from the other. A single USB A connector can not properly supply the MP with power for all inputs, +48 and other features.

not entirely true. I have a right angle single a to c that powers with the green light and works perfect. unfortunately I don't know the make/model/link to the cable as it came in a package with my gently used mp6. seller can't find it either.
